Absolutely NOT!!!!

In Response To: omega semaster pro ()

The helium relief valve should never come all the way out. That leaves the watch's internal mechanism exposed to the elements.

Did you buy this watch from a reputable jeweler? Do you have the official warranty card stamped by an authorized retailer? I'm asking because I suspect you may have bought a fake. I haven't heard of a helium relief valve coming "completely out", unless the watch was clearly defective or it was serviced by a jeweler who didn't repair it properly.

If you're sure your watch is real, have it repaired IMMEDIATELY. If you aren't sure, take it to a local Omega retailer and have them look at it. If you have a picture, you can post it here as well.
